Claim
At a Jaipur paramedical exam centre, the college operator took ₹5 lakh per student from 45 students to guarantee passing, organized mass cheating under a tent with projectors, blackboards and teachers; four people were arrested and the exam was cancelled.
“जयपुर के एक एग्जाम सेंटर में ठेके पर नकल कराई जा रही थी... इस कॉलेज के संचालक ने 5-5 लाख में स्टूडेंट्स को पास कराने का ठेका लिया। 45 छात्रों ने पैसे दे दिए... पुलिस पहुंची। चार लोग अरेस्ट किए गए और एग्जाम कैंसिल कर दिया गया।”▶ Watch source segment
Rationale
A real cheating racket at a Jaipur paramedical exam centre was busted on 2026-06-30: ~45 students, four people arrested, and the exam/centre cancelled — all accurate. But the anchor grossly overstated the money, claiming ₹5 lakh PER student (implying ~₹2.25 crore), whereas police say ₹5.5 lakh was the TOTAL for all 45 (~₹12,000 each, ₹3.27 lakh already paid). The described method (a tent with projectors, blackboards and teachers) is also unsupported: sources describe 45 students placed in a single room with complicit invigilators feeding answers, in a spot lacking CCTV. Correct in outline but materially distorted on the two central sensational details, hence misleading.
